 House building is quite active in the south western part of the city. The old base ball ground region could hardly be recognized as the same old spot where base hits were made by Ryan, Cassidy and others and where Nichols won high favor by his curved pitch ing. A dozen houses, all neat and attractive, have been erected about where the diamond field bounds were marked and more are con- templated. The old circus ground where Barnums and Forepaugh's great shows have exhibited for ten or dozen years past is also soon to be built upon. Massena Clark is about opening street at his own expense through this territory and placing block of building lots on the market. Also soon in this section a new public school is to be erected, the growth of the population in this section being so rapid as to require it. Wash ington school is oYercrowded and Greenwich avenue school is full also, and the latter can- not conveniently be enlarged, go the board of education will before long erect new school house, probably an eight room building.
